Majoring in Civil Engineering, he is a member of the National Honor Society and the American Society of Civil Engineering. A four-time Academic All-Conference pick, Emmert has earned Dean's List recognition eight times. 

On the field, Emmert is a two-time NAIA First Team All-America selection and was named 2003 NAIA National Player of the Year. In 2002, he earned an NAIA All-America Honorable Mention. A three-time First Team All-Conference pick and two-time Conference Most Valuable Offensive Player, Emmert has passed for over 11,000 yards and is responsible for more than 100 touchdowns. A two-year team captain, his teams have only suffered three losses since 2002. 

An elementary school mentor, Emmert speaks at Hometown Helena, a weekly gathering of local business men. He is a member of Big Brothers & Big Sisters and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Emmert is currently the wide receivers coach at his alma mater. In 2014, he was inducted into the NAIA Football Hall of Fame.
